Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbotskerswell use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Abbotskerswell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Abbotskerswell

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Quartz

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Repairing versus replacing in Abbotskerswell

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour-matched on site

See our prices page.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
